The only jackstands that I like and feel "bullet proof" with are the AC / ESCO models. The best money I ever spend in my life because it might safe it.

It's hard to see when in use but these are the buffers needed, the 4 silver ones lock into the 993 chassis and make for fool proof lifting points, the 911 chassis needs pinch weld or rubber buffers which have to be very carefully placed to avoid sensitive areas

...But they don't sell Esco stands at Northern Tool.
Seriously, I was standing in the store, literally seconds away from pulling the trigger on this stuff (see pics), when I was alerted that this thread had been updated. Have any of you bought and used this gear? I am always willing to consider cheaper / more expedient alternatives. Do tell. Thanks for your input.

So the tops of these Big Reds or whatever they're called are flat enough? They seemed well built, free of those sloppy welds that seem to dominate the Chinese stuff....

The two raised lips are about 3mm higher than the flat middle part. Regardless, I use a hockey puck there to dampen the contact point.

I have both Esco and Big Red stands. The ESCO cover at least 3x times the contact surface at the ground compared to the Big Red stands. Guess what I am using all the time ...
Make me a reasobale offer for the Big Reds (I have two). You can have them. Local pickup would be the easiest but I can ship at your expense
